Prophet Musa (pbuh) knew that he would soon have to leave
the world. As he looked at his family his attention fell on his
young daughter. He thought to himself, “Who will look after
her when I am gone?”
Allah sent an angel to direct him back to the Red Sea. Prophet
Musa (pbuh) was asked to strike the water with his staff again.
A dry path appeared. He was ordered to walk to the centre
and pick up a particular stone.
“What do you see Musa?”
“I see a stone with a hole in it!” Prophet Musa (pbuh) replied “In
the hole there is a tiny ant with a grain of food in its mouth”
Allah revealed to him, ”O Musa! If I can look after an ant in a
stone at the bottom of the sea; can I not look after your
daughter?”
